THE STORY......

"Our music is about hope. Life is not all good and it is not all bad. There is a balance to be maintained, and it is maintained by hope." Eric Bradley


MELT, a 4- piece rock outfit from Los Angeles, formed when guitarist/songwriter/leader Eric Bradley and drummer Josh Howser began jamming while institutionalized during the summer of 2002. Their musical and spiritual bond became apparent to others, and the duo was soon tapped to back former Alice in Chains guitarist, Jerry Cantrell in the summer of 2003. While touring and recording with Jerry, they met bassist Chris Wyse (The Cult, OWL) and soon started out on an adventure of their own.
Louisiana transplant, Aaron Dablow met up with Eric at a gardening expo in Hollywood. Soon realizing they both share affection for Les Paul guitars, LOUD amplifiers, as well as gardening, Aaron joined up and MELT was formed!
Realizing that the basis of any legendary musical group is the songs they play and the chemistry of its members, MELT tested the waters unplugged at a few Hollywood haunts during the summer of 2004. These well-received performances proved to be the foundation upon which this band builds it reputation. Finally, it was time to stand up and PLUG IN!!!!
Combine The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin with the explosive rock movement on the early 90's, and you get an idea of what this rock quartet is capable of; elements of groove, power, harmony, psychedelia and all out ROCK! Live performances you can believe, dynamic songs that will have you humming along for many moons to come. This is the band you've been holding out for..........

SOME BACKGROUND.......
Eric Bradley moved to LA from Chicago in the early 90's. He has been in and around the music business since his arrival. As well as fronting bands, he has also managed indie record labels, sold the most expensive of guitars, and run errands for the biggest music stars. Eric has toured with founding member of the Cure, Lol Tolhurst, as a guitar sound manipulator; plays with LA underground heroes 6 foot Nurse, which covers Beatles an Zeppelin like no others; and has been Jerry Cantrell from ALICE IN CHAINS go-to guy for guitar and vocal duties on tours with Kid Rock, recording sessions and a many of benefit concerts. In Eric's words, "I keep real busy!" His passion is with MELT, the group he has fronted for 6 years, and has been reformed in the last year with this new line up. "This band is the vehicle for my omni-vision. This world needs new ideals, mixed with some old fashion sincerity. Rock and roll is a very powerful medium. I feel that music has lost touch with the message. Anger, rage, frustration are all very intense emotions, but without meaning or sincerity behind the delivery, these feelings, to me, get lost. I hope that I don't become lost. And this scares me! I need to share this with people; I believe that others feel the same way."

Josh Howser is a veteran of the Hollywood scene. His fury of groove behind the drums is equal to his mentor, the late John Bonham. As the engine of MELT, he brings a sense of urgency and ease to the music that is captured like no other. Josh has been seen and heard playing with the Jerry Cantrell Band, and the Cardboard Vampyres, an all-star 70's rock cover band that has toured the country. He is excited that people can finally hear him fully express his creative drumming with MELT.

Chris Wyse is one of the world's foremost bass players. He has made records with OZZY, the cult, Mick Jagger and has toured the world with the cult, Tal Bachman, and Jerry Cantrell. As world renown record producer Bob Rock's go to guy on bass, Chris was seen in the new Metallica movie and was such an influence on Bob that he has credited Chris with the bass direction on the latest Metallica record. He also fronts his own band, OWL. Chris is a fantastic singer and completes the live vocal arrangements that make this band unique.

Aaron Dablow, the pride of Northern Louisiana, is a fresh face on the west coast music scene. His killer tone, solid rhythm style and piercing leads make him a perfect choice for MELT. And he is TALL!!! About 6' 4''!! Having toured the southeast with a few major and indie label band before joining MELT, Aaron brings an old-school perspective with the energy of jack-hammer! In his own words, "BRING IT!"
